White and red is internationally recognised but white is poor against snow, clouds, water reflection and red isn't as noticeable as some would think.
Matt grey and red, no glint to catch the eye in some conditions and obviously a poor compromise from having to use a mil scheme.
Personally I like the all yellow, easy to see over all terrain
Perhaps you should follow the USA hunting regulations and paint them all Blaze Orange (with white markings)?
That is well-visible in virtually all lighting and background conditions, and is already associated with SAR (exposure suits).
